it went okay by the way. I don't have DICOMs for this scan sadly but it's the broken one on the top right; manageable

DICOM includes all kinds of medical metadata anyway, including patient name etc

is that a problem? I can just edit it, or, preferably, post-process to show exactly what I want to highlight

there's always metadata you miss, especially if it's an unknown file format with a ton of bells&whistles

I know exactly what they typed into the machine, I can just grep for that. anyway there isn't anything there which isn't public in some way

name of dentist? model of xray machine, which happens to be traceable in some way? that kind of stuff
or some opaque string that's the same shit encoded in a nonstandard way because nobody cares about standards
